Cafe$

Algorithm opened on a sunny street corner in 2023, and it’s been pumping ever since. It could be the specialty coffee (excellent) which makes it so popular, the service (even better), or the clean industrial interiors. Most likely, however, it’s the food. Co-owner Baby Angelina Kartiko serves a refined menu inspired by contemporary Australian and Japanese flavours, ranging from banana loaf with Earl Grey caramel butter, to sourdough muffins stacked with roasted Spam, egg, and chilli aioli.

Good to know: A proudly dog-friendly venue.
